Gerda Wegener (b. Hammelev 1886, d. Frederiksberg 1940) Young girl at dressing table (possibly portrait of Lili.) Signed Gerda Wegener Paris, 1924. Oil on canvas. 94×67 cm. The painting depicts a beautiful, young girl with a mirror in her hand. She is posing in a yellow negligee, her arm resting above her head – at ease and comfortable in her surroundings. The interior is recognisable as the Wegener’s apartment in Paris. Both the Rococo chair and chest of drawers appear in several other motifs, and one of Einar Wegener’s paintings is hanging on the wall. This suggests that the model may be Lili, despite the difference between Lili’s actual body and the one depicted in the portrait. Condition Condition report available on request.
